I've been looking for VPNS that works well with Linux.

I tried using NordVPN, Windscribe, IPVanish, and TunnelBear. There's probably a few more that I tried but didn't work either.

Sometimes, the most simplistic of methods tend to work well.

Try using a private search engine named MetaGer. It has a built-In proxy, that allows you to open a given link within an anonymous gateway.

Just tried to use it and the link is blocked/unlisted so can't use it

Try Epic Privacy Browser.

It has a list of built-In proxies to choose from.
